I have run across a sporterized Krag rifle that  has issues but is documented as issued to 5th USV INF in the 1st edition of the Springfield Research Service book. I am not bidding on this but I thought I would post this in case anyone else wanted to check it out. Most Krag owners do not own a documented Krag.

I would contact the auction company and ask for a picture of the receiver markings to make sure it is as listed for the serial number. They do make mistakes.

I suspect, because of this auction house and the condition of the rifle, that it will sell cheap. I would guess around $200-300, unless it gets out to the general public that this is documented.

Maybe no one is interested but it is interesting and may be a rare chance to get a documented rifle at low cost. Lot#55 on the sight below.
